What can go wrong

If the battery voltage is abnormally low the antilock braking system electronic control unit may not perform to specification which in rare cases may cause a reduction in braking efficiency.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the Electronic Control Unit.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
